Hello everybody! I have a question as a newby.
I’d like to implement on ktor 2 endpoint: one authenticated and one not, but with the same endpoint
Something like

authenticate(“jwt”) {
   get(“hello”) {
     call.respond(“Authenticated”)
   }
}

get(“hello”) {
     call.respond(“Public”)
}

The above is of course not working. Is there a way to achieve this?

you can do
```
authenticate("jwt", optional = true) {
...
}```
Per docs,
```
 * optional=true:
 *   - No credentials: route handler will be executed with a null [Principal]
 *   - Bad credentials: Unauthorized
 *   - Good credentials: route handler will be execute```
